Chapter 71 Worse than Beasts

After taking a deep breath, Madam Kuang said to Mrs. Li with a serious expression.

She had to see Mu Qingyin herself. Not only that, she had to see her right away. And she also had to find a reason to bring Yaniang over.

"Yes, I will go right away."

Seeing that Madam Kuang's face looked unprecedentedly ugly, Mrs. Li didn't dare to say a word and nodded quickly. She turned around and left Shou'anju in a hurry without saying goodbye to anyone.

As soon as Mrs. Li left Shou'an Residence, Old Madam Kuang in the room immediately called a nanny who served her and asked her to go to Yuejiang Marquis Mansion to pick up Kuang Guya, under the pretext of discussing important matters.

The waiting time makes people feel most anxious. Besides, no matter how good the old lady's character is, she can't help feeling anxious. Her usual gentle face, which always has a smile on it, is now ice-cold and without any warmth at all.

This made the people around her feel that the temperature around them dropped by several degrees. They didn't even dare to joke around anymore, and unconsciously they all became stern-faced and acted more cautiously.

Sitting in the horse-drawn carriage that was specially provided by the Kuang Mansion for the servants of prominent families to go out on errands, Sister Li got off the carriage at the entrance of the alley in front of her house. She told the driver to wait and hurried into the alley.

Her house and the house where Mu Qingyin lives now are both at the end of the alley, and there is still some distance to go inside. It's not that she doesn't want to call a carriage to the door of her house, but the alley where her house is located is too narrow.

Even though the carriage she used when going out was of moderate size and was far less tall and luxurious than the carriages used by proper masters, she still couldn't get in.

"Where have you been this morning? Why aren't you at home?" She was walking very fast, but was stopped by Wang Chun who was coming towards her when she was halfway there.

Seeing her, Wang Chun's face flashed with displeasure and he complained, "I am in a hurry here, taking money everywhere, begging for help from everyone to find our son.

But I only have a few coins left, how can they be enough? I finally found time to come back and ask you for more, but you are not at home. Where have you been? "

You've already sold your son, and now you want to ask me for money?

If this person becomes cruel and shameless, how worse than a beast can he be?

"I've already asked the old lady for help. She has sent someone to deliver a letter to the Jingzhao government office and promised to send someone else from the mansion to help look for it. This is much better than you asking people everywhere to look for it without any reason."

She suddenly closed her eyes to hide the hatred in them. Mrs. Li looked at Wang Chun anxiously, and spoke in a hoarse voice, sounding extremely weak and exhausted.

"You, you asked the old lady in the mansion for help? This, this, it's just a small matter, how dare you ask the old lady for help? Aren't you afraid that the old lady will think you are too troublesome and dislike you, and ask you to lose your job? What will our family eat and drink then?"

When Wang Chun heard that Li Saozi had already begged the old lady of Kuang Mansion, and the old lady had also sent a letter to Jingzhao Yamen, he was shocked and almost jumped up. A look of fear flashed across his face for a moment, and his voice suddenly rose eight degrees without realizing it.

Mrs. Li looked on coldly, seeing Wang Chun was obviously guilty and angry, but she pretended not to notice anything.

She lowered her head and frowned, and said word by word in an extremely cold voice: "This is not a trivial matter. My son is my life. If anyone wants to take my life, I will take his life. What does it matter if I don't have a job? Nothing is more important than finding my son."

"You, you" Wang Chun pointed at Mrs. Li, panting, and was unable to speak for a long time.

"Don't you want to find your son?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 72 Another Plan

Sister Li looked up and asked Wang Chun in a deliberately puzzled tone, "The old lady agreed to my request because I have worked hard over the years. Shouldn't you be happy too? Why, are you unhappy and angry?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be angry? I'm obviously happy."

Wang Chun was startled, and promptly took back his words to scold Li's wife, and tried to put on a forced calm. No matter how he looked at her, he didn't care at all, and muttered with a fake "worried" look: "I'm just afraid that the old lady will be impatient with you and think you're too much trouble?"

"The old lady is kind-hearted and wouldn't think that way. She even gave me several days off so that I could concentrate on finding my son." Sister Li suppressed her nausea and said, "But I always feel that we have no chance on our own.

After all, the capital is under the emperor's feet. The kidnapper must be feeling guilty and afraid when doing bad things here. So he may not be in the capital at this moment. I don't know where he ran off to.

It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack if we just rely on ourselves. I might as well go to the mansion to inquire about the news during the day and come back at night. Maybe our Yun'er is smart and can run back on his own."

That's a dream.

If the human traffickers were so easy to deal with, and couldn't even keep a young boy under control, it would be strange if he wasn't really disappointed if he let him run back on his own.

Moreover, in order to be on the safe side, he listened to Tao Niang's words and sold the person to a human trafficker from the south who was leaving the capital that day. Even if the little bastard had the ability to escape in the end, the south was so far away from the capital, and he might not be able to come back.

Wang Chun sneered in his heart, but didn't dare to show it on his face. He thought that the trafficker had left long ago, and no matter how capable the Kuang Mansion was, they could get the Jingzhao government to really work hard to find someone, but they would first look for the kidnapper, and definitely wouldn't think of the trafficker.

Even if they thought of it, they found someone. He was the biological father, and selling his own son was not against the law. The father is the leader of the son, and the husband is the leader of the wife. What is there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is that he can divorce his wife and marry Tao Niang in a formal way.

Anyway, he has saved some money in private over the years. When the time comes, he can sell his own yard and the one he bought for Tao Niang, and leave the capital to settle down somewhere else. Could it be that the Kuang family will really hold on to him for a servant? Thinking of this, Wang Chun felt relieved, and said to Mrs. Li in a helpless and hypocritical tone: "But you can look for it from the old lady.

Just don't miss out on my side. As the saying goes, 'Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own paths.' Maybe I can find someone faster than the government office?"

Wang Chun had another plan in mind. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity to ask Mrs. Li for as much money as possible.

He said to Li's wife as if it was a matter of course: "Give me a hundred taels first. I have promised to pay all this money. I have to give it to them soon. Otherwise, who would really help me wholeheartedly?"

Thinking about the fact that Sister Li had received a lot of jewelry in addition to her rewards over the years, he had heard more than once that a piece of good jewelry could be worth dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.

Those Li sisters all said that they would save it for their sons and daughters-in-law in the future.

Wang Chun swallowed his saliva, thinking that even if he couldn't give those jewelry directly to Tao Niang, he could still get a lot of silver by pawning them. Then he could buy Tao Niang a few new ones, cheaper ones would work just as well.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 73 Swear

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Wang Chun said bluntly, "Where did you put all the jewelry you got in the past? Now that your son is lost, don't think about saving them for your son to use when he gets married. It's important to take them out and find your son first."

"Where would I have the silver and jewelry now?"

Seeing that Wang Chun was so shameless that he sold his son and still had the nerve to ask for more money, he was thinking about emptying himself and even took away the jewelry that he wanted to leave to his daughter-in-law.

Looking at him now, he still took away the big bag of braised pig's trotters that he had forgotten about yesterday, which he bought from Liuheju for two taels of silver.

Mrs. Li couldn't bear it any longer and swore with gritted teeth that she would never let Wang Chun take a penny from her easily again.

She looked sad and lowered her head, staring at the ground with blazing eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "In addition to the Jingzhao government, the old lady also ordered the guards in the mansion to go out and help find someone.

You should also know what kind of place the Kuang Mansion is? How can those people of our status be used? Although they dare not disobey the old lady's order, I can't save the money I spend on running errands and drinking for them.

And over at the Jingzhao Yamen, don't those yamen runners also need to be paid with silver? Otherwise, who would really care about you? I got up early this morning and came back just now to deal with this matter."

Mrs. Li was afraid that if she raised her head, she would reveal her rage, so she covered her face and cried, "Compared to Chengyun, what are the money and jewelry? If I can't find him, what's the point of keeping the jewelry and money?"

"They've taken it all. There's not a penny left?"

Wang Chun was dumbfounded. No wonder he hadn't found a single penny in his home. It turned out that all the jewelry and money had been taken away by this spendthrift woman.

Thinking of the silver coins and several pieces of jewelry that were worth at least two or three hundred, or even three or five hundred silver coins, he felt dizzy in front of his eyes and began to regret his action of running away yesterday because he thought Mrs. Li was annoying.

If he was at home, why would he just watch her take away all the things?

Holding back the urge to curse, Wang Chun asked sternly, "You gave them all the money and jewelry? What about your family?"

Thinking that he had not received the ten taels of silver that he was supposed to get this month, and that it might not be settled, Wang Chun wanted to slap himself. In an instant, the pleasure that he had felt because of Tao Niang's extra care last night disappeared without a trace.

"I give you ten taels of silver every month, and you say that the money is for household expenses and the transportation of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, but the money you actually spend on your household is less than two taels.

Our Chengyun is sensible. He often copies books to earn money after studying. His pens, ink, paper and inkstone are either earned by himself or bought by me. After all these years, you should have some money left, right?"

Mrs. Li said with a tired face: "You don't need to worry about finding someone. How can I not know your drinking and eating friends? They are capable when they follow you to drink and eat meat, but I dare not count on them at other times.

Don't tell me that 'snakes have their own ways and rats have their own ways'. It's not that I look down on them, they don't even qualify as 'rats', they just eat and drink for free and take advantage of others, who can believe that they can help us find someone?"

"Why are you still looking down on others? You are criticizing them like this, so are you also criticizing me in your heart?" Wang Chun's face suddenly turned red, and he shouted angrily, "Don't forget that I am the head of the family."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 74: Bullying the weak and fearing the strong

"Then ask them to try."

Unwilling to be outdone, Sister Li raised her head and stared at Wang Chun, and said in a rare strong tone: "In the past, they ate and drank for free at your expense, but now that something has happened to our family, money is not available.

If there are really good people among them, they will know that it is time for them to contribute, and they will not just think about getting money from you.

If someone can help you find our son without asking for money, I will repay him generously even if I have to sell my house to borrow money. If not, do you still want to continue to be a sucker and be cheated by them?"

"What a fool! Your words are too harsh to hear."

Seeing that Li's wife had encountered such a big thing as her son's disappearance, she not only did not become confused like a headless fly and let him fool her, but became even tougher and smarter. Wang Chun immediately felt guilty and his voice became several degrees weaker.

His expression changed several times, and finally he muttered, "I am also worried about my son. The money I saved with great difficulty was spent all at once yesterday. Now you have no money either. What should we do next? Are we all going to starve?"

"Don't worry, I still have five or six hundred coins left in change. I was thinking that if I sell the braised pig's trotters from Liuheju that I bought for two taels of silver yesterday to someone else for one tael of silver, it would be enough to cover my food expenses for this month."

Deliberately looking at the bag of braised pig's trotters in Wang Chun's hand, Sister Li said, "It's just right that you have already taken it out. Just ask someone if there is anyone willing to spend one or two taels of silver to buy it."

"Are you crazy about money? You want to exchange the braised pig's trotters you just bought for money?" Wang Chun was stunned by Mrs. Li's words.

After being stunned for a long time, he finally realized that Li Saozi was serious, and he couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Can you really be so stingy when asking for help? You said you don't want to give money to people you employ, so are you so stingy even for stuttering?"

"Woo, woo, woo, woo, why am I doing this? Isn't it because I want to find our son? A few days ago, I went to the academy, and his mistress said that the teacher said that our Chengyun will be able to finish the exam this year, and it is a sure thing that he will pass the exam and become a Tongsheng."

Sister Li deliberately exaggerated what Master Wang Chengyun's wife said, and even made up a paragraph of her own, crying and saying, "His master's wife was full of envy, saying that there would not be one child as smart as our Chengyun in ten thousand.

If he could be born in our family, it would be a blessing for our ancestral graves. Without him, even if our Wang family gave birth to ten or eight more sons, none of them would be half as smart as him and bring honor to the family. "

Looking up at Wang Chun, Sister Li said fiercely, "You still dare to say that I am stingy and calculating? When I gave you money in the past and didn't stop you from giving free food and drink to those people, why didn't I see you praise me for being virtuous and generous?"

Wang Chun: "."

Faced with Mrs. Li's questioning, he wanted to refute, but in the end he couldn't find any words to refute and could only remain speechless.

His face turned black and red, and he suddenly asked, "Did his master's wife really say that? How come I didn't know about this?"

"A few days ago, our Second Master presented the old lady with the braised pig's trotters from Liuheju as a gift, and I got some as well. I hadn't seen Chengyun for a few days, so I brought the braised pig's trotters to see him."

Mrs. Li sneered in her heart when she saw Wang Chun's reaction. It turned out that he was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 75 Transparency

Mrs. Li finally endured it, and did not continue to be unforgiving. She just pretended to be choking with sobs and explained: "I just heard what his master's wife said, and thought that Chengyun finally made it, and we will also make it. That's why I was happy when I came back yesterday, thinking that Chengyun enjoyed the braised pig's trotters. I was cruel enough to spend two taels of silver to buy this, thinking that he would eat enough at once. Who would have thought——"

Yes, who would have thought that his son, at such a young age, could receive such great praise from the teacher? Thinking that his son was far more promising than he had expected, and now he had ruined him with his own hands, Wang Chun was so upset.

He immediately lost the enthusiasm he had before, carrying this rare and delicious braised pig's trotter to share with Tao Niang. He became a little depressed.

Thinking that his wife had just lost her son and was anxious and angry, he should try not to provoke her as much as possible.

Otherwise, she would be really mad, and she would no longer be controlled by her son. If I don't do it well in the future, I can forget about taking so much money from her every month like before.

When Wang Chun thought about the monthly expense of ten taels of silver, he immediately took a step back.

He held back his reluctance and handed the braised pig's trotter in his hand to Mrs. Li: "Forget it, why are you saying all this nonsense? You are anxious for our son, am I not anxious too? I won't bother with you anymore. Instead of quarreling here, we might as well go out and look for our son. This is for you, do whatever you want with it."

Having said that, he turned around and left without staying for long.

Seeing Wang Chun's back disappearing at the entrance of the alley, Li Saozi spat in her heart. Wiping away her tears and holding the bag of braised pig's trotters from Liuheju, she didn't even go into her house, but directly raised her hand and knocked on the door of Mu Qingyin's house next door.

"Sister-in-law is here? You are here, so what else are you bringing?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Xiaolian quickly ran out of the kitchen to open the door. Suddenly, Li's wife stuffed a large bag of food in her hand, and she could smell the aroma of meat through the oil paper. She couldn't help but smile and say something polite.

"This is the braised pig's trotter from Liuheju that I brought to my family yesterday. I was so happy and sad that I forgot about it. Today, that wicked person almost took it away, but I had to use a trick to get it back—"

After briefly recounting her encounter with Wang Chun, Mrs. Li angrily said, "Don't think he can take advantage of me so easily in the future."

"That's how you should treat him. Don't let him take advantage of you again." Xiaolian felt very pleased when she heard it. "Men are cheap. The better you treat him, the less he will care. He will regret it when you lose him. You should have stopped pampering him a long time ago."

"Miss Xiaolian, you really see things clearly. Tell me, I'm already this old, how come I've been blinded by confusion all this time?" Mrs. Li said dejectedly.

If she had been able to see clearly earlier, she would never have looked for someone like Wang Chun, who only has an attractive appearance but is ugly and disgusting inside.

This is fate.

If she had not judged people by appearance, and listened to the old lady and picked one from the guards of the Kuang family, how good would it be? Alas, it's too late to say anything now.

"Miss Xiaolian, this has been left over all night, so don't be disgusted by it. Just eat it." Forcing herself to be alert and not to think too much, Sister Li said to Xiaolian.

Add one more chapter.

Let me explain, under normal circumstances, Meng Xuan will try to update before 12 am. If there is an abnormal situation, or if there is an extra update, it is hard to say~

Chapter 76 Tell

"No problem. Since you brought it for your son, I'll keep some for him to taste, and I'll have someone deliver the rest to them."

Seeing Mrs. Li's regret, Xiao Lian sighed in her heart. Naturally, she didn't want to continue this topic for fear of hurting Mrs. Li's lungs. She quickly followed the opportunity and changed the subject with a smile.

When she heard that her son could still eat the braised pig's trotters, Li's eyes lit up, and she held Xiaolian's hand with red eyes: "Good girl, if you want to eat anything in the future, just tell me, and I will bring it to you."

"Sister-in-law is so nice. I heard that your snacks are so delicious that the old lady in the Kuang Mansion can't live without them for a day. Next time you come, please bring me some snacks." Xiaolian nodded to give her face and said with a look of anticipation.

"Is it easy to have snacks? Okay, I'll bring you that next time."

Mrs. Li smiled and looked very happy. However, she did not forget the main purpose of her trip. She pulled Xiaolian and asked, "Where is your daughter? Is she at home?"

"I'm here, sister-in-law, please sit in the main room first. I'll go and tell them." Without saying anything, Xiaolian pulled Sister-in-law Li into the main room and made her sit down. She also poured her a glass of water and went to get some snacks.

Seeing how anxious she was, Mrs. Li quickly stopped her and said, "Miss Xiaolian, stop being so pretentious. To tell you the truth, it's our old lady who is anxious to see your young lady. The carriage is waiting at the entrance of the alley."

"The old lady in your house wants to see our young lady?"

Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Sister Li had mistaken her young lady for her "second cousin". She suddenly understood and looked at her and said, "Could it be that our young lady is really..."

Sister Li nodded: "It's hard to say. I just heard from our old lady that our second cousin fell off a cliff a few days ago and was washed away by the water. Our aunt is kind and sent people to look for her for a long time but couldn't find her.

Your young lady also hit her head in the mountains and forgot everything. She also looks so much like our second cousin. Do you think there can be such a coincidence in the world?"

In front of Xiaolian, Mrs. Li had fewer concerns and was able to speak freely and say whatever was in her heart.

As she spoke, she urged: "Good girl, go quickly. The truth will be revealed after your girl meets our old lady. Don't delay now and keep our old lady waiting for a long time."

"Yes, yes. This matter is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer."

Xiaolian knew the urgency of the matter, and nodded repeatedly without bothering to continue the polite conversation with Li's wife, and immediately ran away. As she walked, she did not forget to say, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will talk to our young lady right away."

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then she realized that her mouth was dry, so she took a big sip of the water on the table without hesitation.

"It's actually honey water?"

After drinking it, she found that the water Xiaolian brought her was actually sweet. It was the best honey water.

As expected, she was born into a wealthy family. Even if she had forgotten who she was, her natural generosity was still engraved in her bones. Silently sighing in her heart, Sister Li believed her previous guess even more.

Mrs. Li didn't have to wait long before Mu Qingyin came out to meet her.

The matter was of great importance, and Mu Qingyin was the benefactor who saved her son. At that moment, Sister Li did not hide it from her, and told her, avoiding Xiaolian, that she suspected that she was most likely the second daughter of Yuejiang Marquis's Mansion, and that she was suspected of being replaced by a concubine.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 77: Anxiety

"Okay, I'll go with you. Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Seeing that Sister Li had not concealed anything from him, how could Mu Qingyin not be moved by her taking such a risk to tell him the truth? Naturally, he also had to comfort her.

To be honest, she had guessed that Sister Li would not hide the fact that she met her from her grandmother. But she never expected that she could not wait any longer and revealed it in front of her grandmother.

Mu Qingyin knew very well that Mrs. Li would be taking a big risk by doing this.

If her guess was right, she would indeed gain more trust and respect from her master; but if her guess was wrong, she would also be at great risk of being rejected by her master. In more serious cases, she might even be sold out and her life would be in danger.

How loyal and grateful must Mrs. Li be to be willing to take such a risk?

Thinking back to her previous life, even though the Kuang family had fallen, Mrs. Li had never abandoned the Kuang family or her grandmother.

If Wang Chun and her concubine had not told her the truth about her son's kidnapping when they saw that her backer had fallen, she would not have begged her grandmother to let her go because she wanted revenge but was afraid of bringing trouble to the Kuang family.

It seems that old ginger is still spicy, and my grandmother's vision of judging people is indeed unique. It is no wonder that such a person has always been trusted and loved by my grandmother in the previous life.

With her grandmother's support behind her, she naturally had great face in front of the masters of the Kuang family.

It seems that although there are many treacherous villains in this world, there are also many loyal servants who do not need loyalty pills and can always remain loyal.

In an instant, Mu Qingyin felt that the most basic sense of trust in outsiders that she had lost for a long time seemed to have been regained.

"Does the girl have a veil?"

Even though Mu Qingyin had already thought about something far away, her emotions were turbulent but her face did not show it. Even Sister Li did not notice anything unusual.

Seeing Mu Qingyin's understanding of the situation, Li's wife was delighted. She nodded repeatedly and asked. Without waiting for Mu Qingyin to be confused, she smiled and explained, "It's not the time to let outsiders know about this.

So the old lady asked me to take you there quietly. But how many people in our Kuang family can't recognize the second cousin?

Even if you change your clothes, you can't guarantee that you won't have sharp eyes. So we'd better be cautious. If the girl doesn't have a veil, it's okay. I can go down and buy one when I pass by the store outside."

"No need to buy it, I have some ready-made at home." Mu Qingyin nodded, and without asking Xiaolian, she went back to her room to get the veil and put it on. When she came out, she was holding a small bag in her hand.

Without Xiaolian, she followed Mrs. Li out alone and got on the Kuang Mansion's carriage parked at the entrance of the alley.

When the carriage finally stopped at the corner gate behind the Kuang Mansion, Mrs. Li helped Mu Qingyin, who was wearing a veil, get off the carriage. She said to her with a guilty look on her face, "This is a serious matter. I can only ask you to go through the corner gate first."

"No problem."

Compared with the fact that I will soon be able to meet my mother, grandparents and others smoothly, how can it be considered an injustice for me to just take a corner step now?

Mu Qingyin shook her head nonchalantly and followed Mrs. Li into the Kuang Mansion. The closer she got to Shou'an Residence where her grandmother lived, the more nervous she became. She felt a strong sense of trepidation, as if she was homesick.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 78 Recognition 1

Mrs. Li led Mu Qingyin, and as soon as the two of them stepped into Shou'an Residence, they were greeted by Chunyu, the top maidservant who was waiting at the door personally by Madam Kuang.

"Miss Li, Sister Li, you are finally here? Come with me quickly, the old lady has been waiting anxiously."

Seeing the two of them, Chunyu took two quick steps forward in front of everyone, with a look of joy on her face as if she had finally waited for them. She didn't show any strangeness at all and went straight to Mu Qingyin and Li Saozi, who were still wearing veils, and greeted them with a smile.

Following Chunyu who was walking quickly in front and leading the way, he quickened his pace and walked to the door of the main house. When he saw the three people approaching, the door curtain had been rolled up high.

A familiar place, surrounded by familiar people. Mu Qingyin couldn't help but reveal an excited expression on her face, as if she were in another world. Fortunately, she was covered by the veil, so no one noticed her abnormality.

"Madam, Sister Li is here with Miss Li." Chunyu stood at the door with her companions and leaned her head into the house and reported loudly.

"Please ask her to come in quickly." Inside the room, Old Madam Kuang stood up and responded in a hurried voice with a slight tremor.

"Yes." Chunyu turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Mu Qingyin. At that time, Sister Li had already made way and reached out to gently push her.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingyin nodded without saying anything and walked in. As soon as she entered the door, the door curtain was lowered.

Mu Qingyin was not surprised and did not pause. She walked straight around the rosewood carved peony embroidered screen and saw her grandmother, Madam Kuang, standing there.

Just by looking at the black and shiny hair that had not yet turned frost, Mu Qingyin felt that her grandmother looked much younger than when she last saw her in her previous life.

She opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to scream, but suddenly realized that the two of them had not yet recognized each other.

She held back and glanced around quietly out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that there was no one around, she knew that her grandmother was well prepared and had already dismissed the servants around her.

She then silently took off the veil she was wearing, put it aside along with the small bag in her hand, and bowed silently to her grandmother.

"Qingyin? Looks like her, it's really too similar. Are you really Qingyin?"

Even though she had believed that Sister Li would not fool her and had been prepared, she still lost her composure when she saw with her own eyes that Mu Qingyin had taken off her veil and looked like a different person just because of her outfit and makeup, becoming familiar yet unfamiliar. She asked without thinking.

"Madam, I, I don't know." Mu Qingyin lowered her head and did not hide her sadness. She said in an almost inaudible voice, "I forgot everything."

"."

The hand holding Mu Qingyin suddenly tightened, and Old Madam Kuang fell silent. After a long time, she just patted the back of her hand and sighed, "Forget it. Good child, let's not talk about those things you have forgotten, let's talk about those things you still remember."

Having said that, she pulled Mu Qingyin to sit on the kang under the south window without saying anything, and looked at her as if she was listening attentively.

"good."

Mu Qingyin nodded slightly obediently: "The first person I saw when I woke up was my master. She said she rescued me from the river. When she rescued me, my head and face were covered in blood and I was unconscious for three whole days before I woke up.

When I woke up, I couldn't remember anything, so the master kept me and asked me to follow her to collect herbs in the mountains while learning martial arts, how to identify herbs and make simple medicines, and also learned some cooking skills. "

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 79 Recognition 2

With a bit of sadness in her eyes, Mu Qingyin said in a voice full of regret and melancholy: "My master is not living in seclusion in the mountains, she just went to the mountains to find a medicine.

I only spent a few short months with my master. When the medicine was found, she was leaving. Before leaving, she gave me a large sum of money and told me that if I had nowhere to go, I could go to Changhe Town and find a way to get a household registration first.

She also told me that I could open a shop anywhere in Changhe Town. As long as I left a mark on the plaque, she would be able to find me when she wanted to in the future.

Afterwards, Mu Qingyin recounted in detail the series of experiences she had since she came down the mountain, starting from meeting Li Niangzi and her family in Jiangjiaao, to buying a house and people, opening Yipin Pavilion, and finally arriving in the capital.

After saying this, she looked up at Madam Kuang and said softly with a complicated expression, "I don't remember anything about the past. But I don't know why, I just feel like there is a voice in my heart urging me to come to the capital to take a look.

I just happened to have some money left from my master, so I came here. I thought that when Yipinzhai in Changhe Town becomes profitable, I will open a Yipin Pavilion in Beijing.

After all, my master didn't tell me where she came from. Maybe when I slowly open Yipin Pavilion all over Dazhao, or even all over the world, I don't know where I will run into her again someday."

This child, this child - his life was not all smooth sailing, and Madam Kuang, who had also experienced many setbacks, instantly understood the admiration and expectation for family affection hidden deep under Mu Qingyin's complex eyes, which was not easily detected.

Thinking that this might very well be his own granddaughter, but because of fate, she has never been treated sincerely by anyone since she was a child.

Even her own daughter Yaniang, herself, and the entire Kuang family were deceived into thinking that she was not the Kuang family's biological granddaughter and never really accepted her. Old Madam Kuang couldn't help but shed tears.

Holding Mu Qingyin's hand, Madam Kuang forced a smile while shedding tears and said sympathetically, "If you really want to see your master again soon, it won't be difficult. Why don't you tell them what your master looks like and have them draw him, so that it will be easier to find him?"

"No, Master is a woman. How can I let someone draw her appearance and let too many people see her? Besides, Master likes quietness. If I really dare to look for someone in such a high-profile manner, even if I find her, she will definitely be unhappy and annoyed with me."

Mu Qingyin hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, I would rather wait for her to come to me than do that."

"Your master is actually a woman?"

Madam Kuang was surprised for a moment, but soon recovered and nodded with a sigh, saying, "She is really an extraordinary woman. I really didn't expect it, so the method I mentioned is indeed not feasible."

"My master really deserves the title of a wonderful woman."

Mu Qingyin nodded in agreement with a proud look on her face, and said with longing, "My master is very capable and is proficient in almost everything. It's a pity that I have been with her for too short a time and have learned too little.

It was only after I had studied with my master for some time that I realized that it was possible for a woman to know almost everything like my master, and to live a carefree and casual life. "

"How about we not draw a portrait, but you can tell me about your master's personality and what's special about her. I'll try to find someone to secretly inquire about her, maybe I can find her and let you continue to learn more from her?"

Chapter 80 Recognition 3

Seeing Mu Qingyin praising her "master" so much, Old Madam Kuang felt a pain in her heart, thinking that it was because no one had ever been so kind to her, so she subconsciously became closer to that "master" and was reluctant to leave.

So with a thought of making up for it and wanting to help Mu Qingyin find the person, Old Lady Kuang pondered for a moment and made this suggestion again.

"Well"

When she looked up and saw the serious expression on her grandmother's face, she knew that she was not trying to coax her. Instead, she really felt pity for her and wanted her to fulfill her wish. Mu Qingyin's mind buzzed.

How could she possibly find the "master" she had made up? She was secretly embarrassed. Facing her grandmother's kindness, she had to bite the bullet and shake her head and continue to "make up" and said, "Don't look for him. You can't find him.

Because when I heard Master talk about the old days, it seemed that she had traveled all over the world. I even suspected that she might not be a citizen of our Great Zhao Kingdom at all. But I couldn't confirm it, because every time I asked her, she just smiled and didn't answer. "

Sighing, Mu Qingyin said to Madam Kuang helplessly, "My master said that she only needed one medicine, and she came here when she heard that we have it in Dazhao.

She also said that she is now 150 years old. But I don't think so, because she looks no more than 25 or 26 years old."

After racking her brains to make up a bunch of "old stories" about the so-called "master", Mu Qingyin felt more and more that she had brought trouble upon herself. For this so-called "master" that she had made up, she had almost exhausted all her knowledge from two lifetimes.

She was talking until her mouth was dry and she could hardly continue, when she looked up inadvertently and saw that her grandmother was still listening with rapt attention.

Mu Qingyin: "."

She opened her mouth, not daring to show any expression of despair on her face. She had never felt anything like this moment before, she just felt so tired.

Just when she felt desperate, Mu Qingyin suddenly heard a noise outside the house. With the announcement of "Auntie is back", she heard her mother's familiar voice outside.

"Mom, are you looking for me?" Kuang Guya asked as she walked straight in.

Mu Qingyin looked up subconsciously, and her mother's figure appeared in front of her.

She suppressed her excitement, pretended to be at a loss, stood up and lowered her head to the side. She had to lower her head, because she was afraid that she would be noticed if she couldn't control her expression.

At this moment, Mu Qingyin felt her heartbeat speed up, "boom boom" almost jumping out of her chest. Even with her head down, she was still sensitive enough to notice her mother's gaze looking at her, and then her surprised voice came: "Qingyin?"

Mu Qingyin couldn't help but shake her body. She resisted the urge to recognize her mother at all costs and only looked more helpless.

After staring at Mu Qingyin for several times and seeing that she looked helpless but with no other abnormal reactions on her face, Kuang Guya frowned in surprise and opened her mouth to speak.

But before she could say anything, Old Madam Kuang interrupted her: "Don't ask, Qingyin hit her head and forgot everything."

"You forgot everything?" Kuang Guya repeated in disbelief, "How could this be? Mother, how did you find her?"

"Don't ask so many questions. I can't explain it to you clearly. I have asked someone to call your father back. I will talk to you all together after he comes back."
